THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
LATEST VERSION; RATED A+
Friedrich Engels
"Condition of Working Class in England"; society's problems caused by capitalism and competition.
Colleague of Karl Marx. Living conditions, stress, and health-threatening coping cause morbidity and
mortality.
1820-93: Son of wealthy German textile manufacturer. Grew up in mill town in German. Exposed, albeit
indirectly, to effects of early industrialization. When moved to Manchester, England, to work in
management of a mill owned by his family there, he was appalled by the conditions there - even worse
than in hometown. Became a revolutionary.
Rudolf Virchow
German pathologist who recognized that all cells come from cells by binary fission and who emphasized
cellular abnormalities in disease (1821-1902)
Rudolph Virchow argued that a typhus
was fueled by these three factors.
• Living conditions
• Diet
• Hygiene
Michael Marmot
-Our relative place in society determines health
Richard Wilkinson
compared levels of inequality and health among wealthy nations; in countries where the gap between
the rich and poor is relatively small, people live longer than in other countries where the gap between
rich and poor is much wider
, the more income inequality a society has, the greater their social problems
William Cockerham
wrote Social Causes of Health and Disease,
Distinguished Professor and Chair
Dennis Raphael
-Distribution of income
-wrote "About Canada Health and Illness"
Vicente Navarro
Had conflict perspective that was critical of Starr's approach. Says Starr makes sever assumptions: (1)
Cohesive Ideology - majority of americans hold the same wants, desires, beliefs, and values (2) Equal
, Political base - americans share equal political base (have equal power to determine what happens), (3)
Power of Persuasion - dominant ideologies or cultural authority become dominant through powers of
persuasion rather than through coercion and repression of alternative ideas
New Perspectives on the Health of Canadians (1974 Lalonde Report)
It proposed the concept of the "health field", identifying two main health-related objectives: the health
care system; and prevention of health problems and promotion of good health. The report is considered
the "first modern government document in the Western world to acknowledge that our emphasis upon
a biomedical health care system is wrong, and that we need to look beyond the traditional health care
(sick care) system if we wish to improve the health of the public."[2]
The Black Report (1980)
1977 - Sir Douglas Black commissioned by federal government (UK) to write report investigating why
NHS had failed to reduce inequalities in health
The Black Report and The Health Divide
concluded that universal healthcare
decreased health disparities.
• A) True
• B) False

-if health care was 100% deterministic of health, then we shouldn't find
The Condition of the Working Class in England
Living conditions, stress, and health-
threatening coping cause morbidity
and mortality.
Written by Engles
Report on the Typhus Epidemic in Upper Silesia
Rudolf Virchow's Report on the 1848 typhus
epidemic is one of the neglected classics of 'social medicine'—a term he did much to
popularize. His analysis of the epidemic
emphasized the economic, social and cultural factors involved in its aetiology and clearly identity-fied
the contradictory social forces that prevented any simple solution.
Rudolph Virchow argued that a typhus
was fueled by these three factors.
• Living conditions
• Diet
• Hygiene
